How to check if an Order Response has been sent

When will an order response be automatically sent
If a customer has an ORDRSP document configured, with Test Record set to false, Automatic set to true and Hold Orders for Review set to false. When an order is received without error (It is not held in demand and not held for review) an EDI order response will be sent automatically.
This is to allow for changes in order entry before the response is submitted to the customer. A message will prompt the user that an order response is required if this occurs.
